The guest room at Deborah Brown’s Dallas home is more of a museum; a place to store her vintage clothing collection. “I have always been into vintage clothing, for years,” Brown said. Four years ago, Brown and some of her Women’s Vintage Society of Dallas friends went to a Braniff fashion show that showcased flight attendant uniforms designed by Emilio…
"I have the space helmet for Braniff," Brown said. The clear helmet was intended to protect a flight attendant's hair as she ascended the steps to the plane."These are pretty valuable."
"So it was a whole different, you know, timeframe," Brown said."There was glamour. People dressed up to go on the plane."Brown was never a flight attendant. So why collect flight attendant uniforms? "Well, what other uniforms are there? Waitress uniforms. They're pretty interesting, too, I'm sure," Brown said laughing."Don't get me started! I may start on that.""Back in time, yeah," Brown said."Even if it's my memory."
